“Essence
of Rakshabandhan lies in Safety,
Responsibilities and Duties”
“Rakshabandhan” is great and auspicious
festival for all, celebrated all across India and even outside India.
Generally, we see this Festival as the celebration for brothers and sisters
which is of course true. Sisters tie “Rakhi” on wrist of their brothers and
offer sweets; brothers ensure their sisters safety, happiness and many more in
return. Our sisters go to border to tie “Rakhis” to brave soldiers and all our
security personal. This is the most important significance of the festival for
all Indians.
Let us see broader significance of the
festival. Can we not tie “Rakhi” on our wrist that guarantees safety of all;
respect to all; love to all; honest duties and responsibilities to oneself and
the whole nation. In simple words, it can be explained as follows:
- Parents can Tie a
Rakhi: Parents can tie Rakhi, a bond of love, care, affection, Good human
values to their children. Parents have to ensure proper nurturing of
values to the children; respecting
nature and environment; and most
importantly NOT to impose their dreams to the children. There is
nothing wrong in guiding and motivating the children about their career
prospective but the same should be expected strongly. Let the children be
given freedom what they want to be of their own interest. The Rakhi should
remind the children always about what they have learned from their parents
about honesty and being truth towards everyone including self, parents,
family and the great nation as well.
- Teachers can Tie a Rakhi:
Teachers
can tie Rakhi to their students and learners as a bond of lifelong
learning, life building and character making education; respect for nature,
environment; parents, teachers, the country and mankind. Teachers can promise their
students they would never leave any stone unturned in putting the efforts
in developing the required skill set and human values in students. The bond of Rakhi aims to inculcate
not only the knowledge for livelihood but for service to one and all.
- Students can Tie a
Rakhi: Students are always future of any country, and therefore all students
ought to tie Rakhi to their parents, teachers, senior citizens, and above
all the great country India. This Rakhi will be like a bond of promise that they would
respect all citizen, women, and all; love their parents and grandparents;
take care about their parents; remember the teachings and lessons of their
teachers always; hate corruption; be always true and honest to oneself; above
all perform all duties and responsibilities personally as well as
professionally. Students should
take resolution on the day of making their parents, teachers and India
proud of them and working hard to make India, GREAT INDIA.
- Every Citizen Can Tie
a Rakhi: In fact, all of us should tie a Rakhi in the name of the country,
the Great India and promise to the nation that we will never engage in any
activities that hurts sentiments and respect of our teachers, parents and
the nation. We should always protect
our nature; hate corruption and corrupt practices; respect and love to
all; believe in peace and happiness. Then this would be great regards
and honor to the auspicious day, Rakshabandhan. This day and the Rakhi
will always remind us about our responsibilities and duties.
Let us all pledge together to tie a Rakhi or
get Rakhi tied for a greater cause and make this India as Mera Bharat! Naya
Bharat!! Please do contribute in Nobel mission of Swami Vivekanand, Rebuild
India as New India! Great India!! (Feedback
